Let us begin with the fact that we still do not know the truth about the existence of reality. Thus, for example, physicists still do not know what matter is, biologists – what life is, psychologists – what Consciousness is, philosophers – what Being is, theologians – what God is, nor do the world’s ideologists and politicians know what kind of global social and economic order they should create, one through which all people could most easily achieve their spiritual and material well-being as the goal and purpose of their life and existence.
And yet, discovering the Truth about reality is not difficult. One only needs to correctly answer three fundamental existential questions: what exists, how does that which exists exist, and why? Let us try!
What exists?
According to Hegel’s logic, the only thing that truly exists is that which exists at the Beginning as the First, and all the Other that arises from the First are merely the actions, forms, and states of the First.
Referring to physics, at the Beginning, as the First, there exists the immaterial Quantum Vacuum, which from the standpoint of physics appears as nothing. From it—through its self-exertion and self-movement (the “Big Bang” theory)—matter, life, and the Universe came into being. From this follows the conclusion that the Quantum Vacuum and the Universe, like water and ice, are merely two different states of one and the same natural force and phenomenon: 1. motionless, immaterial, and unobservable, and 2. in motion, material, and observable. This implies that once we discover the truth about the observable Universe as the effect, we will simultaneously discover the truth about the unobservable Quantum Vacuum as the cause, because the two are one and the same.
We already know the Truth about the Universe. Science knows that the Universe consists of energy, i.e., of the physical actions of exertion and movement of the particles and fields of the Quantum Vacuum. It also consists of ideas, i.e., information about the forms of their exertion and movement, which manifest as the psychological actions of observing, feeling, remembering, thinking, and comprehending that exertion and movement by those very same particles and fields of the Quantum Vacuum that are exerting and moving.
If, as proof of this, we were to take all the people in the world as an example, no matter how different their professions may be and no matter how different the results of their work are, they all, in order to perform their tasks, do the same thing – they exert themselves and move, they observe their exertion and movement, they feel, remember, think, and comprehend. The only differences lie in the information according to which they exert themselves, move, and work. It should be noted that these physical and psychological abilities are not actually abilities of the human organism, but of the particles and fields of the Quantum Vacuum as elements which, by means of these same physical and psychological abilities, construct the human organism as well as the entire Universe.
From these facts, we can now draw the conclusion that the particles and fields of the Quantum Vacuum are particles and fields of Consciousness—which applies to the entire Quantum Vacuum—because the seven physical and psychological abilities and actions listed above are the fundamental factors of Consciousness.
What is Consciousness?
A human being—whose organism, like the entire Universe, is built by the particles and fields of the Quantum Vacuum, i.e., the particles and fields of Consciousness—can easily give the correct definition of Consciousness. It states that Consciousness is that which is capable of bringing itself into a state of awareness. And it is easy to understand that awareness, and thus Consciousness, could not exist without the psychological abilities and actions of observation, feeling, memory, thinking, and comprehension. Nor could it exist without the physical abilities and actions of exertion and movement, without which there would be no material objects as the subjects of observation, feeling, memory, thinking, and comprehension. Through these, Consciousness creates various ideas, i.e., information about itself and about those objects, and by means of them brings itself into a state of awareness, thereby causing itself as Consciousness.
If Consciousness and its seven physical and psychological abilities and actions were not at the foundation of all reality, nothing would be possible. Evolution, in the form of creating material forms—atoms, celestial bodies, galaxies, as well as the bodies of cells, plants, animals, and humans—would not be possible. Likewise, our electronic technologies, information systems, and artificial intelligences would not be possible.
From this follows the conclusion that only Consciousness and its seven physical and psychological abilities and actions truly exist, and this is the final answer to the question “What exists“.
Proving Consciousness
Keeping in mind that Consciousness is neither material nor observable, its existence cannot be proven either through the senses or beyond the senses. Even when it exerts itself, moves, and becomes material and observable, we still cannot observe it as Consciousness, but only as energy. However, since Consciousness is the only thing capable of bringing itself into a state of awareness through its physical and psychological actions, it thereby becomes aware not only of the physical and psychological actions it performs, but also of itself as the performer of those actions. Therefore, it needs no other proof of its existence.
This method by which Consciousness, through its physical and psychological actions, draws the conclusion about its existence was discovered 400 years ago by the French philosopher Descartes, when he said: “I think, therefore I am“. Consciousness can reach this conclusion through any physical or psychological action it performs, so it can always say: I exert myself and move, I observe, feel, remember, think, and comprehend my exertion and movement, therefore, I, Consciousness, exist. It cannot even doubt its existence, because it would not be able to doubt if it did not exist.
How does Consciousness exist?
It exists by itself, as both its own cause and its own effect, by eternally—without beginning or end—flowing through its three natural forms and states according to the “egg–chick–hen” principle. These are: 1. resting and being still; 2. exertion, movement, and development; 3. relaxation, unwinding, aging, collapse, and the return once again to the state of rest and stillness.
Symbols of the triune nature of Consciousness: the egg–chick–hen, the Universe, and the symbols of the Hindu and Christian divine trinities

By eternally flowing through its three natural forms and states, Consciousness is able to alternately play the role of both its own cause and its own effect, by using information about itself in the form of a psychological process, to cause itself as a physical phenomenon and process. Then, through itself as a physical phenomenon and process, it causes information about itself as that physical phenomenon and process. The “egg–hen” example.
In this way, the entire Universe repeats itself eternally, as does everything that the Universe consists of. Human lungs breathe in the same pattern – inhale, exhale, then a brief pause of rest before the next inhale and exhale. The heart beats in the same rhythm. The stomach continually fills and empties. Likewise, every morning a person rises, moves, and works, then relaxes and unwinds after working hours, and at night becomes still, sleeps, and rests. In the same manner, everything is continually born and develops, and eventually ages, breaks down, and dies.
There can be no beginning or end to this flow, because physical processes cannot stand at the Beginning unless they are caused by information in the form of a psychological process. Nor can information in the form of a psychological process stand at the Beginning unless it is caused by a physical process. Once again, the “egg–hen” example, because everything in the Universe exists and occurs according to the same principle.
Why does Consciousness exist?
It exists because it must. The feeling of dissatisfaction and evil is its fundamental driving causal force and power, which compels it to eternally flow, in alternation, through its three natural forms and states. Meanwhile, the feeling of satisfaction and good, experienced during unobstructed flow, is the goal and purpose of its existence.
This is easy to understand. Whenever Consciousness is rested, a feeling of dissatisfaction and evil will arise within it in the form of a need for movement and work, so that through movement and work, life may be extended and satisfaction and good may be achieved. And when, through movement and work, it becomes tired, Consciousness will now experience that fatigue as dissatisfaction and evil, which will force it to stop and rest, so that in stillness and rest it may experience satisfaction and good. This alternating psycho-physical cause-and-effect process is universal, has the meaning of a natural law, and cannot be stopped.
The question of “why does Consciousness evolve” is also important.
The fundamental driving force of evolution is again dissatisfaction and evil, which is experienced when movement is chaotic, because chaos hinders Consciousness from flowing smoothly through its three natural forms and states. To transition into a state of satisfaction and good, it is compelled to order its movements and actions and to move in an organized and harmonious way. As a result of evolution, atoms arose as highly organized and harmonious forms of movement and work of Consciousness, followed by celestial bodies and then galaxies. Finally came the bodies of cells, plants, animals, and humans. One of the most perfect forms of organized and harmonious movement and work is the human organism. Human society, however, has not yet fully evolved. It still does not understand the universal rules of movement and work through which one can most easily pass from a state of chaos and evil into a state of harmony and good.
Finally, let us also say that the explanation of the existence of immaterial Consciousness, through its eternal flowing across its three natural forms and states, and its creation of the Universe, so to speak, out of nothing, resembles the Hindu and Christian dogma about God and His triune nature, who created the world out of nothing. The explanation for this similarity lies in ancient writings that survived the disappearance of advanced civilizations that lived on Earth before us and knew the truth about the existence of reality. But those who use these ancient teachings today still do not know the true meaning of the word and concept “God”.
The symbol of the divine trinity in the form of a triangle, which is often painted on the walls of Christian temples and monasteries, especially resembles Consciousness and its flow through three natural forms and states, aided by its seven physical and psychological abilities and actions. This symbol, known as the “Law of Three and Seven”, was discovered by the Armenian researcher Gurdjieff in monasteries of Persia and Egypt. On it, the bottom side of the triangle is marked as the “neutral force”, the left side rising upward as the “active force”, and the right side descending downward as the “passive force”.
